Deerhunters second album Cryptograms took two years to make and took the group to breaking point following two distant recording sessions. This reflects in the structure of the album where the opening few tracks are generally slow and mostly instrumentally lead, picking up on infulences as diverse as Brian Eno to Sonic Youth.
As the album takes a less ambient, more melodic, poppy direction towards the end but never looses its edge, its a really interesting listen as you can really hear the fall and rise of the band within the recording period in the album. This album has already seen some great reviews and I wouldnt be surprised to see this with the albums of the year come December.
